"Death lives on her like an untimely frost." (Act 4 Scene 5)
Lady Capulet says this about Juliet because she is really pale and dead looking. Friar Laurence 's potion made her cold when you touched her, she turned pale, and she was so unconscious that she had no pulse. Everyone truly thought she was dead. This is a simile because Lady Capulet is comparing her daughter's looks to be as white as the frost on the ground because she is so white. Juliet has the look of death on her face.
"Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir." (act 4 Scene 5)
Lady Capulet's words are a simile because she is comparing death to her son-in-law. She is saying that, because Juliet is dead, she will never have a son-in-law. Even though she does not know Romeo is her son-in-law, she believes she will never have one. She is also comparing her daughter to death again. Friar Laurence's potion worked so well that everyone thought she was dead. We knew she was not dead, but she looked the part to her family and everyone else that attended her funeral.
"I dreamt my lady came and found me dead." (Act 5 Scene 2)
This is an example of foreshadowing because Romeo did not know that Juliet would really find him dead. When she woke up, she saw his body laying on the floor dead. Romeo's dream was real because she found him seconds after he drank the poison. If he had waited a little longer, he would have witnessed her awaking and they wouldn't be dead. The two lovers could have even run away together and lived their lives happily with each other.
